The" resent invention seeks to" revise a construction =Whe'iei-n thesash"- member jis firm' l-y eo'n'ne"c ted tothe'shdln-g stile and may beswung uponits pivot thereon sO t'h'at; the outer face of the sa-sh isaecessi ble' from the interior" of" the rooni' by :a person standing" onthe floor. v

The" bolt emlsoextends throiig-h a pivoting opening in- "the olii iplate 22 which embraces-the stile 12 and is secured thereto by in thestile fae'e. leonstruction' 113 61- mits of the convenient assemblage ofthe parts without removing the stile from the frame or disconnecting itfrom the usual balancing Weights as the clip plates carrying the pivotsare first attached to the sash and the pivot head then introduced intothe channel 25, after which the clip plate is attached to the sides ofthe stile and a firm hinge is thus provided.

When the sash is in its normal. position for vertical movement in thewindow fran'ie it is interlocked with the stile by means of theconnecting plate 26 which is formed of substantial U-shape having thedepending wings 27 n'oviding an elongated bearing contacting with theopposite faces of the sash so as to prevent any lateral movement thereofrelative to the stile. This plate is formed at one end with a pivotingextension 28 mounted in the bearing 29 carried by the plate 30 attachedto the upper end of the stile member 12. Various meansmay 'he used forretaining the connecting plate in contact with the stile but a desirableform thereof is shown in Figures 3 and 9 and comprises a pin 31 mountedin a casing 32 disposed in a suitable recess in the sash frame, said'pin being adapted to extend into a cooperating seat or recess 33 in theconnecting plate. This locking pin is normally projected outward by thetension spring 34 disposed between the base of the pin and the end ofthe casing, and for limiting the outwardmovement of the pin a shank 35is extended therefrom through the-base of the casing and provided with across pin 36 to limit the outward movement efthe pin. 7 It will beobserved that in this. construction when the connecting plate isswung'into embracing relation with the sash frame the locking pinautomatically enters the recess therein and retainsthe parts in firmlyinterlocked position until it be desired to release the same forswinging the sash into a horizontal position: The latter function is accompli'shed by merely depressing the pin to suflicientextent to permitthe plate to be raised into the position shown in Figure 4 when the sashis free to be swung laterally of the stile. The construction of theconnect: ing :plate provides. an eflicient, simple and economicallyconstructed means for an interlocked connection between the sash and.

stile by which the parts are supported against rattling or movement andoperate-as a firm unit in the vertical movement of the sash. \Vhen'thesashis lowered and swung inward asshown in Figure 2 the outer facethereof is immediately accessible for washing or in case of painting orother repairs it is not necessary to-use either a ladder or other meansto reach the outer face of the sash.

While the specific details of the invention have been shown anddescribed, changes and alterations may be made therein without departingfrom the spirit of the invention as defined by the following claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

1.. In a window sash, a sliding stile pivoted thereto, a pivot platecarried by the up per portion of the stile, a connecting plate of awidth. substantially equal to the thickness of the sash, hinge lugs onboth plates, the length of the combined hinge lugs being substantiallyequal to the thickness of the sash, and a hinge pin extending throughthe lugs, said pivot plate having a portion of channel cross-section toembrace the upper portion of the sash frame.

2. In a window sash, a sliding stile, pivotecl thereto, a pivot platecarried by the upper port-ion of the stile, a connecting plate mountedon said pivot plate and having parallel wings to embrace the upperportion of the sash frame, and means to prevent pivotal movement of saidplate relative to said frame.

3. In a window sash, a sliding stile pivoted thereto, a pivot platecarried by the upper portion of the stile, a connecting plat-e mountedon said pivot plate and having parallel wings to embrace the upperportion of the sash frame, and a spring actuated pin mounted in theframe and disposed .to enter an aperture in one wing of the connectingplate when thelatter is in engaging position.

4. In a window sash, a sliding stile having alongitudinal channel in'its inner face, a connection between the stile and sash com thereof, apivot extending through an aper ture in said cllps and secured thereto,and a- -lread u pon said pivot adapted tobe introduced into said channelinthe stile.

5. In a window sash, a stile member pro-' vided witha longitudinalchannel extend- 'ing upward from the lower end thereof, a U-shapedpivoting clip mounted upon the sash, a cooperating clip mounted upon thestile to enelose'said channel, a pivot bolt secured to the sash clip anda head upon saidbolt adapted to travel in said channel.

In testimony whereof, I affix-my signature atEaston, Pennsylvania, this2ndday of May, 1925.
